Overview

Join BSAC and you join a worldwide group of people who share a real passion for scuba diving.

We are the UK’s leading dive club and the sport’s National Governing Body, providing an internationally-recognised diver training and development programme via a network of clubs and centres across the country and overseas.

In May 2014 HRH The Duke of Cambridge took over the BSAC Presidency from his father HRH The Prince of Wales. HRH The Duke of Cambridge spoke of his own goal as the new BSAC President:

"I look forward to working with BSAC to encourage even more young people into the sport, for they are the next generation of underwater explorers, pioneers and protectors. The skills and experiences gained through snorkelling and scuba diving can have a positive and lasting impact on their lives, giving them confidence and building their aspirations."

So whether you’re a qualified PADI (or other agency) diver or only just started, tried it on holiday or would like to learn to scuba dive - if you want the highest standards of training and great diving in good company, then BSAC is for you.

A basic level of comfort in the water is important and you will have to demonstrate that you can swim 200m in swimwear.

iThe BSAC Ocean Diver course has three main stages:

2. Five confined water dives to learn the basics in the water (usually in a swimming pool)
3. Five open water dives to further develop your scuba diving skills
